Serious Games Interactive releases Global Conflicts: Latin America

Serious Games Interactive
releases new game about the world's conflict zones

Following up on its award-winning
computer game 'Global Conflicts: Palestine' (GC:P), Serious Games Interactive
now introduces 'Global Conflicts: Latin America' (GC:LA) - for PC and Mac.

The 'Global Conflicts' series
focuses on conflicts throughout the world. GC:LA zooms in on major problems in
some of the world's most violent and poverty-stricken places. Many Latin
American countries have dark histories of genocide, widespread corruption; and
systematic exploitation of the indigenous population. These historical facts
still cast long shadows on the everyday life of people in the region today.

Global Conflicts: Latin America
GC:LA is a mix of the role-playing and adventure genres but is based on real
personal accounts from people living in the region. The game puts you in the
place of a freelance journalist who must write revealing articles about major
problems in Latin American countries. You will be confronted with ruthless
landowners profiting on modern slavery; corrupt police officers and tainted
state officials; men with bloody hands from their involvement in systematic
genocide; organized criminals benefiting from the misery of others; and
shameless businessmen putting profit before workers' rights and the environment.
None of these wish to talk about the details of their doings. Your job is to
identify them, throw them off balance, and bring the truth about their actions
to the pub-lic.

''Global Conflicts: Latin America'
is not your ordinary computer game. What distinguishes it from many other games
is that players actually take something with from the gaming experience, which
has relevance in the real world. Often reality is more cruel and brutal than
what you can make up and we want engage people by taking video games beyond the
killings of orcs and aliens' says CEO Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen.

GC:LA targets critical and
reflective gamers looking for an experience, which challenges their
understanding of the world. The game is available in English, German, French,
Spanish, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian from October 23rd, 2008. For more
